Synopsis

My Review
French actress Helene de Fougerolles is quite good in her debut English movie. Her acting is seductive and suceeds to confuse the viewer. The film keeps you interested, and makes you wonder who is telling the truth.

An exellent suspence thriller
Sitting alone one night watching HBO, I came upon this film, and was really impressed by it. The characters are very emotional, and the setting (Budapest, Hungary) is in a place which is one of my favorite regions in the world. The story starts out very dark and vividly and doesn't lose it's grip thru the suprising climax, and if in were made in by Hollywood, instead of being regarded in the Canadian film industry it would have gain some more recognition, I highly recommend this thriller, it surely has become one of my favorite movies.

An average horror movie
This movie is for the ones who like "any" kind of horror movies. I could not find anything special in it except for visual effects in some scenes. I call it an average horror movie as it does not have a value added but just makes you spend some spare time. There is too much blood in the flick and some instant moves make it rated R for viewers below 18 (and persons with heart problems)

An amazing Stanley Kubrick-eusqe thriller
This movie was an amazing journey that really shows how well it was made. I really loved the acting and the plot. Taking place in Budapest, a young American becomes intrigued by the dark psyche that stalks the atmosphere which he eventually becomes obseessed with, and in that finds a diturbed young woman who becomes a dark part of his everlasting nightmare he lives in. ...
